I forgot about Scott Allan my * he's still here? We must be paying him something way over the top of he's not wanting to go and play football, a gifted enough player to make it pro not wanting to play is such a waste.

Forgetting about a few players there's so much movement, Calvin Miller looked really promising, any idea why he's coming back from Dundee is it because they don't want him or we want to loan him up a level?

Not sure I've seen Morgan.

Burke loan
Weah loan
Perez project
Bayo
A first team right back
A possible centre back if we punt Boyata

See this appears like we've got too many players to give them any sort of quality game time because when are we not going to play the first team players if fit the rest of this season?

I seen that George Weah goal yesterday, not seen it for about 10 years and it came up random on YouTube, ah that was so funny, he just kept going l limbs flying everywhere. Won the Balon that year I'm sure, was definitely the Puskas goal.

What is good about this Weah? Are we getting any options to buy on our loans?

Are folk wanting to sell Dedryk because he's running down his contract or because they don't rate him? I think he's good, him and Benkovic are solid. Do like Ajer though but is he solid enough yet, such a critical position, one mistake and it's torture.

How big is our squad now? Mind Ronny's first season we had about 16 midfielders? That was just crazy. Could do with getting more defenders in, we're doing alright up top wi Johnston looking good. And of course Eddy who is going to be a player for sure.

The problem we have is we sign * on high(ish) wages or projects who don't work out. Neither of those are easy to unload. We want to bring in better players but we can't sustain the wages for a squad of 40 players.
The only players we can offload are the decent quality ones. Therefor when we sell them it weakens us without making much of a dent in squad size due to all the dead wood.
Our signing strategy will lead to us buying some duds and having to take a loss but we don't half sign some utter * for silly money. We do ourselves no favours.

Aye I think we need to start thinking about quality of quantity and realise we're going to have to start spending more money. Especially if we want to enjoy great European nights. We should be doing better, was almost a riddy us getting through but I was celebrating it was so hilarious hearing he stadium erupt like that I was like * is happening? I had no idea Rosenborg could us out. But really we don't want that happening, we want to be in control of our own destiny. Mind you considering the terrible luck Ronny got in Europe we deserve a bit back.

When I was having a look at Brendan's time at other clubs there was a big peice talking about the transfer catastorophe he had to put up with but the main criticism was they had a transfer committe who bought players the management knew nothing about and they were trying to do the same thing you just described and it ended exactly the same with them spending more on players than they were worth but check the scale they were doing it on, this might not be exact but he's not far off, in Brendan's first season I they spent £293 on 23 odd players

I don't know if you remember but reporter was saying it got so bad with them buying and selling they ended up with Ricky Lambert as their main forward at one point

But aye we really need to be careful there, we want to stay in the black of course and I think we could and still spend £3/6m range on quality that will most importatly help us compete and secondly we might make some money on if we've got decent scouts who aren't trying to be use car salesmen.
